Cannot create pages with same name, but they are still shown in the database(in table view or data).

Hello Community,

I come here for some help. Now I am doing some website programming with confluence confiform. We want to create some pages for different projects and they should not be with the same names. I know that confluence does not allow to have the pages with the same name in one limited area. That works fine for us, but the problem is when every time I attempt to create a page with the name of some already existed other pages, it won't create a new page, but still, in the database or the table view, it seems to be created. This is something we don't want to see because we want to count the number of projects based on the database. So, if there is some method that we can also get rid of creating the records with the same name in the database? 

Thank you

Hi Michael, do you mean the page tree on the sidebar or the macro page tree?
